Now in paperback! Researched and written in Japan with the full co-operation of the factory, here in definitive detail is the story of the Honda S2000 – a series of open two-seaters that built on the success of the NSX, helping the company justify its on-track exploits with a proper line of sporting machinery. Successful immediately, the S2000 models defended Honda’s honour on the tracks, but it was in the showrooms where the S2000 excelled. After a major face-lift, it was eventually killed off in 2009, but is as popular today as it ever was as a modern classic for enthusiasts.

The end result is as clear a picture as you could want of the attractive sporting Honda. Long has a very readable style, and the 162-page book also benefits greatly from a substantial number of photos (mostly factory-provided) plus fascinating reprints of brochures and publicly material from the various markets in which the car was sold ... To summarise, this is how the story of a single model of car should be told. - New Zealand Classic Car --- The book covers all the major markets and backs the story up with some great photography gathered from all over the world - tkc (Totalkitcar) --- The book is well researched and detailed without being boring and it's a must-have for any fan of this modern classic. - CAR Magazine
